UPDATE: Police still searching for body taken from Savannah cemetery

For the second day, Savannah-Chatham police Islands Precinct officers combed the area around an east Savannah cemetery Wednesday in search of body remains that were stolen from the cemetery Monday night.

Police were called to the cemetery on Wheaton Street just before 10 a.m. by cemetery employees who found two caskets out of their vaults, said Julian Miller, police spokesman. One had been damaged, but not opened. A second casket was opened and the body removed, he said.
